Just when Jing Ling was preparing to go deep alone, Kou Wang, who was far away in Mucheng, also encountered some situations.
After inspection by scouts, it was determined that an army of northern barbarians was nearby.
Moreover, the number of troops may be quite large, and the threat to them is very great.
Kou Wang also learned about the situation near Eagle City, but he was now guarding it and could not leave at will.
Otherwise, once the food route is cut off, the Zhou army may collapse directly.
"Grand Governor, the scouts have brought new news. Eighty miles away from Mucheng, there is a 20,000-strong northern barbarian army approaching Mucheng."
"Grand Governor, this is an opportunity."
The general who came to report the situation lit up his eyes and said excitedly.
Kou Wang narrowed his eyes slightly and quickly returned to normal.
"Oh, General Tian, what do you have to say?"
"I can't speak highly of you, but why don't we just send troops to destroy this northern barbarian army?"
After hearing this, Kou Wang quickly shook his head.
"It's necessary. This governor has been ordered to guard this place. We can't act rashly at the moment."
"Marshal Kou is blocked in Eagle City. He cannot support him at will. This place cannot be lost."
General Tian heard this and clasped his fists at Kou Wang.
"Don't worry, Commander-in-Chief, there's no need to use all the troops."
"The general is incompetent, and with only thirty thousand troops, we can surely make sure that these twenty thousand men never come back."
Upon hearing what General Tian said, the other generals in the camp couldn't sit still.
They all came together, and now they are staying here. How can they let others take all the credit?
Suddenly, many generals asked for help and wanted to go out of the city to fight.
"Grand Governor, now that the enemy is hidden and we are clear, this is a great opportunity to take action."
"If you miss it, you may never have this opportunity again."
Seeing that Kou Wang was still hesitating, General Tian continued to persuade.
Finally, Kou Wang nodded slightly, with a determined look on his face.
"General Tian's words are right. This war has not officially begun yet, so let us make a contribution first."
"Later, the governor will personally lead his troops and go out of the city to attack the barbarian army."
"All generals can accompany us. The one who kills the enemy general first will achieve the first victory."
When the generals heard the words, they were immediately overjoyed and agreed one after another.
Only Deng Yongle lowered his head, said nothing, and frowned.
Kou Wang just glanced at Deng Yongle and went to prepare to dispatch the army.
Deng Yongle hesitated for a while, but still chased after him.
An hour later, the northern barbarian army approached thirty miles away from Mucheng, seemingly planning to ambush Mucheng.
And they don't know yet that they have been discovered and are still waiting to be attacked.
At this time, Kou Wang had already led his army around the side of Mucheng.
However, Kou Wang did not launch an attack immediately.
When General Tian saw this, his face was full of confusion.
He didn't understand why Kou Wang hadn't launched an attack yet.
If it's a little later, the enemy will hit Mucheng.
"Grand Governor, it's time to attack now."
However, Kou Wang had a mysterious smile on his face.
"General Tian, why are you so anxious? There are 20,000 people here and they can't escape."
"But……"
General Tian wanted to say something else, but was directly interrupted by Kou Wang.
"Later, I will lead the army to attack."
Upon hearing this, General Tian was immediately excited, with a look of anticipation on his face.
Kou Wang sneered secretly, but didn't say anything.
Finally, the northern barbarian army approached Mucheng for twenty miles.
At this time, they finally chose to attack.
Behind the wooden city is the grain road, which is very important for the Zhou army.
At this moment, Kou Wang finally launched his attack.
In addition to the 50,000 troops who stayed in Mucheng, there were a total of 100,000 troops, all of which launched an attack on the northern barbarians.
The 20,000-strong army of northern barbarians turned pale when they saw this, and quickly fled away, fearing that they would be a step too late.
However, Kou Wang chose to stop at this time and prevented the army from continuing to attack.
"Why doesn't the Grand Governor attack?"
General Tian yelled eagerly, looking very anxious.
Kou Wang was not impatient and turned around, aiming in the direction of Mucheng.
"Everyone, retreat to Mucheng."
"What!"
General Tian was immediately shocked and frightened.
Could it be that Kou Wang saw through this plan to lure the tiger away from the mountain?
Just as General Tian was wondering, the entire army had already rushed towards Mucheng.
